What a life changing experience
What a life changing experience! I went into the retreat with some hesitation; was I good enough to keep up? Could I co-write with high level musicians and song writers? Andrea just has a way about her that facilitates learning, community, and positivity. After the experience I learned that I can more than keep up; I can hold my own. In 4 days I felt like all 31 participants were new found family members, and there were more than a few tears shed on the last day. Thanks Andrea and Madison for all that you do to support artists hone their craft.

This is a beautiful way to describe the experience that begins daunting, and becomes deeply transformational and beautiful. I am so appreciative of your willingness to enter into our creative space, and the ways in which you added to it, inspiring others as you did. I look forward to staying connected in any way I can over the months and years ahead, and seeing you at any alumni events we have. Get your music out there for people to hear! Andrea

Madison,
Madison, You are welcome to take anything from the letter I wrote Andrea on 4/12. Title as you will and I don't mind you using my name

Bill, I can't thank you enough for your lovely letter. I enjoyed hearing your new songs during the retreat, and watching the influence you had on others as they learned and became inspired by your craft and art. I am whole-heartedly glad to know you, and hope to see you again at any events we have that may interest you. Until then. Andrea

Met some really cool people and had a very informative cowriting experience, great practice if you’re wondering whether you’ll enjoy cowriting with people! The morning sessions were Andrea were very insightful and eye opening as well!

Thank you for your insights, Melody, and I'm so glad you had this experience. I was delighted to see the groups forming as they were, and look forward to watching more and more relationships and cowriting friendships arise in the aftermath. I hope you continue to write wherever your heart takes you. It's a beautiful journey of melody and harmony when your fingers grace the piano. Andrea

No joke, this is the one. Exceptional experience.
Andrea has a particular gift for creating an open and expansive space for writers to delve into what makes them authentic artists. This retreat met and exceeded my (somewhat lofty) expectations, and if it sounds even remotely like something you might be interested in, you should sign up. So fun, so enlightening. Exactly what I was looking for, and a heavy dose of clarity around what I didn't know I was looking for. I will be back!

Kyle, I can't thank you enough for your feedback. Knowing the experience exceeded your expectations in this way makes these retreats doubly worth it. It's that clarity that can help give us the confidence we need to just write, and write through it. I hope you continue to find the community a wellspring of playfulness, and productivity, as you continue making and releasing your music. Andrea

Art is Work. To Sell it is Art.
I can't think of a better way to begin or give a boost to your creativity. Andrea is a great communicator. Even so, there's no magic wand that will make you write better songs, but you'll learn how to write songs better. And unless you're a genius like your mama told you, you need to understand the rules of writing songs that stand a chance of being shared.

You're speaking the truth! Thank you so much, Johnny, for sharing your experience. It was such a pleasure having you part of the group, and hearing your shred a little guitar, and catch some of your insights into collaborating. I'm happy you had such good experiences in the cowrites as well. Thank you for your generous spirit, and I will think of you whenever I encounter a laser show:) Andrea

A wonderful experience.
Andrea and her team are very well organized and she has a dearth of expertise to share. Not only is she knowledgeable but her intuitive approach and personal demeanor are unparalleled. I definitely recommend this retreat for songwriters - whatever level you’re at, she can help you!
Response from andreastolpe.comApr 15, 2024
Thank you so much for your feedback! I am so appreciative that you came so open and ready to dive into the whole creative process on this retreat. You were absolutely critical to the success of your collaboration groups, and to the dynamic of the room as a whole. I hope we can continue to provide little boosts of creativity and community in the months ahead through our online events. It's wonderful to know you're out there and creating music. Andrea

An overwhelming success
This week was an overwhelming success - emotionally, socially, and in the development of new skills. From the choice of venue, to the meals, to the approachability of team, to the amount of information that was imparted, everything met or exceeded my expectations.
Response from andreastolpe.comApr 15, 2024
Hugh, I can't imagine the retreat without you. Thank you for your skills, your wisdom and life experience, and your songs - your beautiful songs. We're grateful you chose to spend the week with us, and opened your heart to the whole experience. Andrea

Experience was beyond phenomenal
Experience was beyond phenomenal. Anyone who is on the fence (as I was) JUST GO!!! Andrea knows her stuff and Madison was super organized. Musical and friend connections for life…
Response from andreastolpe.comApr 15, 2024
Dennis, thank you. I have fond memories of our workshop time and your co-written song performances. You were such an important part of the dynamic of the group and the confidence we all began to build in our craft and intuition around song. I look forward to the next time we can interact, perhaps online at our alumni meetings, or if the fates allow, at another retreat. Write, record, release. 10x/3 reps. See you at the gym:) Andrea
